Abanto, CNSC-VPAA awards the Certificate of attendance to the participants of PSITE V Regional Security Training together w/ Mr. Daniel Maligat, CNSC-IT Director.

A workshop-training spearheaded by the Philippine Society of IT Educators (PSITE) Region V President Mr. Benedicto Balilo, Jr. and Vice-President, Mr. Daniel E. Maligat, Jr., in cooperation with Camarines Norte State College (CNSC) realized the first Information Security Training on May 26-27, 2016. This was endorsed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) and properly coordinated with the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Bicol Region.

Fifteen (15) registered participants from different members of the Industrial Technology (IT) Society in the Bicol Region attended the said training. One of them came from Masbate, others are from the Divine Word College Legazpi City, Bicol University, Mabini Colleges and Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation.

Prof. John Q. Ruero, a Bicolano and an industry fellow of Information System Security Association (ISSA) President and a nationally known expert in ethical hacking and information security was the speaker. He shared insights on the what and how of information security. The participants gained firsthand experience on putting up defenses and offenses on security threats. Dr. Godofredo E. Peteza, Jr., the Vice President for Administration and Finance enjoyed a live global map of real-life hacking attacks shown by the speaker as the participants browsed and tried to do what he had done in a one to one computer/trainee laboratory. The participants were also asked to read a policy statement and agreed for the compliance on project submissions and policies on ethics and cheating. They were also asked to sign a waiver which is

very unique in a training workshop. Prof. John Q. Ruero explained that the learning he shared can be used for unmindful and dangerous activities like hacking that could result to chaos and possible lawsuit. He encouraged the Institute of Computer Studies (ICS) instructors to apply in their classes what they have learned in the training so that the students will be aware of what they are doing and they should observe ethical practices in information security.

The second day of the training-workshop focused on installing NoScript in Mozilla browser, running an application that will determine programs and applications in the computer that are safe and potentially risky, sniffling passwords, port scanning and showing possible entry of attacks for a prospect

It is a remarkable legacy of the College President, Dr. Monsito G. Ilarde in instilling the concept of planning and budgeting as a powerful tool in decision making processes. It helps the CNSC administrators and heads of offices to decide on what programs, projects and activities to prioritize while considering the budget allocation from different sources.

Moreover, the trainer felt the need to conduct a follow-up training since most of the participants believe there is more to learn from Prof. John Q. Ruero. The closing remarks of the VP for Academic Affairs, Dr. Rusty G. Abanto, expressed continued support and improvement of the IT facilities. There were also two participants who expressed positive feedback of the training. Prof. John Q. Ruero offered an opportunity for everyone to consider becoming a member of an

internationally known Information Security Organization that is the ISSA organization and promised that he will entertain any future question or collaboration either through his email or social network accounts.

For the participants, the training was a success where they gained new and additional learnings. “On the part of CNSC, the training gave the College an avenue to develop IT professionals who are not only well-versed in application, installation, operation but also with security information which is intensely a growing problem,” Mr. Daniel E. Maligat, ICS Director, concluded.

3 CoEd faculty represent CNSC to PSERE, Inc. ConferenceIn adherence to CNSC’s call for igniting the number of research outputs of the

institution, three faculty of the College of Education (CoEd) composed of Adrian C. Guinto, Ph.D – CoEd Dean, Eduardo M. Abad, MA.Ed – CoEd Extension Coordinator and Sigfredo V. Aler Jr. – BEED Chairman attended the two-day Annual Conference of the Philippine Society for Educational Research and Evaluation (PSERE) held on May 26-27, 2016 at Librada Avelino Auditorium, Centro Escolar University, Mendiola, Manila.

The conference aims to promote the professionalization of the practice of educational research and evaluation, to provide a venue for a wide dissemination of research output, and to continuously broaden and strengthen research linkages and networking in the country and in the Asia Pacific Region. As such, Plenary Sessions on the topics: “Media in Peace Building”, “Living in Harmony with the Earth”, “Cultural Respect and Solidarity”, and “Cultural Diversity” were held which provided newer insights on the participants. Paper presentations were held

simultaneously and Best Presenters were awarded. The organizers chose the best presenter, best research and best research poster.

“To obtain membership of the College in the organization of researchers, to establish national and international linkages and to heighten research culture are our foremost concerns in attending the PSERE conference,” said Dr. Adrian C. Guinto.

Mr. Abad and Dr. Guinto joined the PSERE organization and they were awarded with certificate of membership.

Almadrones, Porcincula complete a Research on Students’ Learning

Dr. Rosalie A. Almadrones, professor of CAS and the Graduate School, and Dr. Erlinda J. Porcincula, College Coordinator on Quality Assurance and Program Accreditation, completed a research study titled “Factors Affecting Students’ Learning Achievement” last March, 2016.

Funded by Camarines Norte State College (CNSC) Research Center, the said study focused on determining the factors which affect the learning achievement of students in CNSC Main Campus where the College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA), College of Engineering (CoEng) and College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) are located. Four hundred twelve (412) students served as the study’s respondents, determined using cluster sampling. Two hundred fourteen (214) respondents were from CBPA, 79 from CoEng, and 119 from CAS.

The researchers primarily identified the profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, monthly income of the family, educational levels of parents, marital status of parents, media available at home, and the kind of reading materials at home. Likewise, the respondents’ grade point average and the factors affecting their learning achievement as to teachers’ instruction, their learning style, and school facilities were determined.

After a year of research implementation, the study revealed that majority of the respondents are 18 to 19 years old, female, and have a monthly income of Php 5,001 to Php 10,000. Both their mother and father are high school graduates and living together as husband and wife. Most of them have television set and books.

Moreover, the findings highlight that the learning achievement of most respondents is affected by the teachers’ knowledge on the subject matter and the teaching style. Majority of the respondents prefer independent learning. The researchers also found that most of the respondents are kinesthetic learners whose academic achievement are also attributed to the condition of the school library. The grade point average of most respondents is above average and the correlation between respondents’ profile and grade point average shows a significant relationship.

These findings enabled the researchers to recommend the following: students may devote their time in watching educational programs on television and in reading books; teachers may adopt the independent learning style of teaching; the administration may prioritize students’ needs particularly library holdings; a study on the relationship

between grade point average and learning style may be conducted, and curricular and co-curricular activities may be undertaken to ensure that the students are fully equipped to handle the demands of their course.

This study is in-line with the CNSC Research Agenda (2014-2020) under education and capability-building thrust.
